BIG RESCUE UPDATE-The "unadoptables"

Many of you check the web site regularly to see what rescues are available for adoption. Sometimes, there are rescues that never hit the site. They are dogs that for one reason or another, unless a miracle happens, will probably be with us for a very long time. We continue to love them and provide for their care and comfort "behind the scenes".


Here's a few:


"Happy" the Papillon:

Many of you felt Happy's pain after he was featured in this post, this post and this post. Happy has come a long, long way...but he is FAR from normal. He would do well to be someone's dog who was very gentle and understanding of his foibles and quirks and who would love him, even though he's not "right". ..someone whose life is very quiet and consistent. He's ready for that, but unfortunately, those homes are practically non-existent. So he hangs with us...loving our staff...loving his spot in the living room...loving his canned food (he is getting FAT). He's our special boy. We all love Happy and we are so proud of his progress.

Your donation of $30 a month will help care for Happy. Please consider supporting him.








"Midge" the elderly Toy Fox Terrier:

Less than a week after Albert was put to sleep, we got a call about Midge. Midge is an elderly Toy Fox Terrier that was found running the streets in a local town. She weighed 2.5# on the day that we got her. She was covered with fleas, polluted with tapeworms, and was malnourished. We THOUGHT she had a neurological issue, because she staggered and would fall over and struggle to get back up. Turns out it was ALL because of the malnutrition and the parasites. We wormed her, vaccinated her and got her on the road to recovery. She's a hefty girl now, weighing in at a whopping 3.75 pounds!

Midge is old. She has snaggly teeth and cataracts. She loves to ride inside our coat on these cold days. I think Midge is likely to live out her days with us...nobody wants to adopt an elderly dog...


Would you be willing to help support Midge? $30 a month will help pay for her care and keep her happy and safe with plenty to canned food and treats!





"Momma" the Pit and her 7 Babies:
Read about them here. Your donation of $25, $50, or even more will help get this dog and her puppies the care and homes that they need.


We are also in need on bedding, crates, and High Efficiency" laundry detergent (the only kind that can be used in our new washer).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CONSIDERATION. Your financial and supply donations will help The Lucky Puppy reach more dogs.
You can mail a check to The Lucky Puppy Rescue, 67740 Airport Road, St. Clairsville, OH 43950
OR you can donate via PayPal.
